Weekly Top Trending Games on Steam (25th–31st of May 2026)

At the start of every week, we check out which titles received the most new Followers throughout its period. This is a great way to learn more about the upcoming experiences that players are looking out for, as it's all inclusive — experiences that are out now, new announcements, great discounts, and more.

One thing that's worth noting is that we have an anti-AI stance. Despite this, however, we're going to be including titles that have the technology — this series is to keep track of the changes in the videogame industry and how new titles go up and down in popularity, and it would be dishonest to exclude AI games for these sorts of listicles.
